Principal's Message
Dear Families and Friends of Boone School,
We have so many fun-filled events coming up in April! I can’t wait to see all of our talented Boonies come out as we watch our Talent Show, Poetry Cafe, and enjoy a week’s worth of dancing and activities during National Dance week at the end of the month. Please see details below and be sure to join us for these events!
April also marks the end of the 3rd Quarter, and we will have our Parent-Teacher Conferences on Wednesday, April 13th. I look forward to seeing everyone and discussing students’ progress so far this school year. Happy Spring!
Sincerely,
Jackie Delaney, Principal
